drahkon Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) After the amazing chapter 890, One Piece became boring again with chapter 891...and the manga is on another break next week. Thank God I started with Attack on Titan again. Edited January 12, 2018 by drahkon 1
Jonnas Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 27 minutes ago, Happenstance said: Finally got around to watching Your Name this evening and thought it was really good. Nice story and some great animation. It’s been a while since I’ve watched an anime movie so I think it stood out a bit more but you really can see the massive difference a good budget makes with this compared to tv anime’s. Funny, I watched Garden of Words (from the same director) just today. Not only was it way shorter than I expected (~45 minutes), it looks absolutely gorgeous. Hopefully I'll get to watch Your Name soon.
Happenstance Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Finally ordered Evangelion 3.33 today. It’s been so long since I watched the other 2 that I think I’ll just watch them all next week.
Happenstance Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 The newest Humble Bundle Book Bundle is an Attack On Titan one. I assume you guys would recommend picking it up? https://www.humblebundle.com/books/attack-on-titan-books
Jonnas Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 I just started My Hero Academia, and 4 episodes in, the show has officially won me over. After so many cynical takes on the superhero genre (from Marvel's Civil War events to One Punch Man's career supers), it's so good to see an optimistic reconstruction of the concept. Got some catching up to do. 1

drahkon Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) One Piece is getting stale. I decided to give The Promised Neverland a go. It seems like Attack on Titan on a smaller scale and without the bloodshed. I love it. Edit: Can't put it down. @Kav and everybody else...give it a try. Edited January 27, 2018 by drahkon 1

If you’re not already reading Kingdom I highly recommend that. Sousei No Onmyouji is good too... both still ongoing. 1

Kav Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 I’m fully caught up on The Promised Neverland now, thanks for the recommendation @drahkon Anyone that hasn’t read it should do, I highly recommend it too! 1

Did you read the newest chapter (i.e. 72), as well? Looks like it got released today, well the translated version that is. Spoiler This one "phone call"...holy hell. Pathways to the human world in each of the four elite plantations? Did not expect that. This could mean that the group will get back to the "orphanage" earlier than planned. What do you think will Emma, Ray and the others do? Look for the Seven Walls or immediately go back to Grace Field? I guess this decision will depend on what Emma and Lucas find in Marvin's Nest. No matter what they find, I think Emma and Lucas will try to free Goldy Pond Village from the Poachers, before doing anything else. Spoiler when Norman was taken to be shipped he saw something...what if he saw the path to the human world? I guess Emma, Ray and the group will hold on to the plan of going back to Grace Field in two years; in the mean time they will try to find the Seven Walls I could also see them splitting up; we have basically three "main characters" (Emma, Ray, and "Mister") and three possible destinations/actions (back to Grace Field, Goldy Pond Village, the Seven Walls); splitting up would be insanely risky, though what will definitely happen, in my opinion: a rebellion against the current system; how this will be enforced...no idea Edited January 29, 2018 by drahkon

Spoiler I agree, in that I think they’ll fight to liberate Goldy Pond Village. After that I can see them heading back to B06-32 to get the others and bring them to Goldy Pond (with the Poachers out of the way, Goldy Pond will be a safe haven) as it’s in area A just like Grace Field. From there I think they’ll set out to find the Seven Walls, find a way back to the Human world and then rescue the others at Grace Field. I do wonder what’s in the drawer though! Norman! I wondered the same too, his reaction was not what I’d be expecting of someone who was going to bite the bullet. Edited January 29, 2018 by Kav 1

Ike Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Since we're throwing out manga recommendations... I thought Dr. Stone was surprisingly good.
drahkon Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 If the next One Piece chapters don't exclusively cover... Spoiler ...Luffy fighting Katakuri until the fight is finished... ...I'll lose my shit. Anyway...can't wait for The Promised Neverland chapter 73. Should arrive sometime this weekend.

Yup, and to be honest... Spoiler ...I don't think the arc will end in a satisfying way. The Straw Hats will escape which will be the most boring conclusion to the arc, in my opinion. I'd like to see Big Mom die which would cause serious havoc around the world I think. Happy to be proven wrong, though. Edited February 2, 2018 by drahkon 1
drahkon Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Spoiler Tons of information again... Minerva (or James Latley) betrayed by his brother Peter Latley, the current head of the family. Looks like James is still alive as his body apparently hasn't been found, yet. Oh boy... The way Lucas is presented makes it seem like he's not to be trusted. "All of us trust Lucas.", yeah...might be a dead give away that he will do something fishy. However, conveying ambiguity is one of the artist's greatest strengths and with the author we can never be sure what exactly is going on in the characters' minds. Speaking of the author: what a dick move to let Emma see what the deal is with the Seven Walls. I'd like to know, too, you bastard Project Lamba 7214, a trial plantation...well, no idea what that's about. A new way for Demons to produce high quality meat? And then Adam...he has that brand from a mass production farm and is repeating Norman's number. He also looks kinda like Norman (obviously bigger and more muscular). Two theories: he is Norman's (half-)brother but got fucked up in some sort of experiment (or has a defect from birth), so while Norman (the intelligent one) was raised in Grace Field, Adam was sent to a different farm Norman and Adam are cloned products (at Lambda 7214? to create high quality products?) and as it is the norm with cloning things can go right (result: Norman) and wrong (result: Adam); but who's the template? Anyways, there's something about Norman. I think his ancestry will play a huge role, if we ever get to find out about it (I'm guessing he's related to the Latley family). Oh boy, @Kav 1

drahkon Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Spoiler Toppo decided to wreck the shit out of Frieza That was awesome. No 17 is about to be defeated, too, but I love how he's still calm and rational, trying to find a weakness. I assume that he managed to secure the win for Universe 7. He prevented Frieza from falling out of the stage so my guess is that the fights between Goku and Jiren and eventually Vegeta and Toppo will last until time runs out. Which means: three survivors on Universe 7's side and two on Universe 11. Dragon Ball has never been a series about huge plot twists, so I'm pretty sure that this is how the tournament will end (well, it's not difficult to figure out). Would like to be prove wrong, though Edit: Didn't realize Episode 126 is already subbed, too... Spoiler Well, I was way off with my guess It's a lot better this way. Frieza was still able to interfere. That guy's incredible. But my goodness, Vegeta. He finally got his moment and what a moment it was. He truly is a man of pride. And now it's time for Jiren...can't wait to see how the tournament will end. Edited February 4, 2018 by drahkon
